Oh, I don't mean I do it on purpose as a joke or something. If they ask, I tell them - then they'll either go "oh well not a big deal" or they'll tell me I need a degree and end it. It's just amusing how arbitrary it all is. I'm able to do as much if not more than some fresh college graduate tenderfoot because I've been in this industry for years, but he's gonna win over me because he had tens of thousands of dollars 4 years ago. I can't help but be bitter about that. Well, I guess I can. I'm just bitter!

I hear ya, I was bitter too. I'm not justifying it, but I realized I couldn't change it so I bit the bullet and got the degree.

I learned a good bit about business getting that degree, but honestly the amount I've learned by doing far outweighs that which I've learned in college.
